"This kind of thing still happens well into the 21st century??!? Hopefully you haven't bought a $2 Shrek Forever After (http://www.moviefone.com/movie/shrek-forever-after/30186/main?icid=movsmartsearch) collectible drinking glass at McDonalds recently. But if you did, hopefully you didn't let your kids (or anyone else) drink from it yet. If you did, though, don't freak out, as it's not as terrible as it sounds. MarketWatch reports (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/mcdonalds-recalls-12-mln-shrek-themed-glasses-2010-06-04) that the 16 oz. glasses are being recalled by the fast food chain because their Shrek-themed illustrations are slightly poisonous. At least 12 million of these cheap souvenirs, of which there are four different designs, were made using paint featuring toxic cadmium, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. And surprisingly they weren't produced in China, where we've come to expect hazardous products now and again. No, they were made right here in the U.S. -- New Jersey to be exact -- by a company called Arc International."
